Chapter 5889: The Bet

Hearing this, Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang's expression darkened slightly.

"What do you mean by 'showy but useless'?!" Fang Shenyang said angrily.

"Hehehe… Is it not? Tianqi defeated Fang Nan with just a slight effort."

"You!"

"What about you? If you're not convinced, you can have Fang Nan fight another round!" the Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion said dominantly.

Hearing this, the people of the Shuihan Sect all looked quite displeased.

But if they let Fang Nan fight, wouldn't the result be the same?

In the previous competition among the Ten Great Sects, Fang Nan had suffered a crushing defeat.

If Li Tianqi hadn't shown mercy, it would have been impossible for Fang Nan to return to the Shuihan Sect unscathed.

In fact, there was a lot of padding in Fang Nan's second-place ranking.

If he had encountered Li Tianqi earlier, he would have lost long ago.

"Senior! I wish to battle Xiao Fan! Rest assured, I will definitely show mercy and won't hurt him!" Li Tianqi said earnestly.

"But! Xiao Fan's status isn't that of a Disciple, but an Elder…"

Normally, when Sects spar with each other, it's acceptable between Disciples or between Elders.

Under normal circumstances, Elders do not spar.

After all, Disciples are the future of a Sect.

For Xiao Fan, with his status as an Elder, to spar with Li Tianqi, who is a Disciple, is truly inappropriate.

"Sect Master!" Li Tianqi looked pitifully at the Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion.

The Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion frowned. Make Li Tianqi an Elder?

That definitely wouldn't do!

As a Disciple, Li Tianqi could win more glory for the Purple Thunder Pavilion.

How could he easily let Li Tianqi become an Elder?!

"How about this: you can set conditions, or tell us what Xiao Fan wants! As long as he is willing to fight, we can satisfy any request. How about it?" the Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion said in a deep voice.

"This… Alright, I will go ask Xiao Fan and hear his thoughts." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Afterwards, the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect went to see Xiao Fan in person and explained the situation.

"Satisfy my conditions?"

"That's right. The people from the Purple Thunder Pavilion said that as long as you're willing to fight a match, you can name any condition." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect nodded and said with a smile, "Xiao Fan, this is a good opportunity! You can take the fight!"

"Conditions? Hahaha… Fine! I want 50 billion immortal spirit stones!"

"…"

"Xiao Fan said he wants 50 billion immortal spirit stones…"

The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect returned to the main hall and spoke awkwardly.

Hearing this, the people of the Purple Thunder Pavilion all fell silent.

After a long silence, they all began to shout in anger.

"What? 50 billion immortal spirit stones? Is this Xiao Fan of yours crazy?!"

"50 billion immortal spirit stones! Is he dreaming?!"

"He… he… he… this is just idiotic pipe dreaming!"

"…"

The people of the Purple Thunder Pavilion were all flying into a rage out of humiliation, feeling that Xiao Fan was intentionally insulting them.

Not only did they think so, but even Li Tianqi thought the same.

50 billion immortal spirit stones!!

Even with a thousand years of accumulation, the Purple Thunder Pavilion might not be able to scrape together that many immortal spirit stones.

"Sigh… This Xiao Fan of our Sect just has a strange temper; there's nothing I can do." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect looked embarrassed.

He was also startled when he heard the figure of 50 billion immortal spirit stones.

But Xiao Fan had said that the goal was to make the Purple Thunder Pavilion back down in the face of difficulties.

After hesitating for a moment, the Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion spoke in a deep voice.

"How about this! We'll have a match for 10 billion immortal spirit stones! But there is one condition!"

"A condition? What condition?!" The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect was stunned.

"Hehehe… Let Xiao Fan and Li Tianqi fight. If Xiao Fan wins, we will give your Shuihan Sect 10 billion immortal spirit stones! If Tianqi wins, you give us 10 billion immortal spirit stones!"

"Ah, this… the stakes are a bit high." The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect hesitated and shook his head.

In the previous battle between Li Tianqi and Fang Nan, Li Tianqi had initially held back.

Later, feeling that Fang Nan was too weak and losing interest, he struck with lightning speed and defeated Fang Nan.

In the eyes of the Sect Master of Shuihan Sect, this Li Tianqi was too dangerous, and Xiao Fan might not be his match.

Or rather, when Li Tianqi attacked just now to test Xiao Fan, he had intentionally held back!

The goal was to lure Xiao Fan into a fight so that the Purple Thunder Pavilion could swindle a sum of immortal spirit stones from the Shuihan Sect!

"High? Hahaha… You, the dignified Shuihan Sect, are actually afraid of such a small bet?" The Master of Purple Thunder Pavilion laughed loudly.

"This…" The Sect Master of Shuihan Sect hesitated and looked toward Supreme Elder Xuan Shang, Supreme Elder Fang Shenyang, and the other Grand Elders.

Supreme Elder Xuan Shang and the other Grand Elders were fine, each of them looking calm and composed.
